Greenland has seen an increase in the number of tourists visiting the territory following U.S. President Donald Trump’s pledge to bring the island under its control.
Travel to the island, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, has also become easier because of Nuuk’s new international airport, which opened in November.
Ilulissat, Greenland’s main tourist hub known for its UNESCO-listed ice fjord is also due to open a new international airport in 2026.
“Already now, we are getting many more bookings than we have received earlier, especially because of a man with the last name of Trump,” says Ivik Knudssen-Ostermann, who operates a boat tour company called Greenland Cruises.
Trump has pledged to make the Arctic territory part of the United States, eyeing its vast wealth of rare earth minerals.
